Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
It is common that an integration endpoint will require some type of login credentials such as an API key or a basic username and password. The HTTP Request with Secure Credentials Store plug-in will allows keeping private values in the Secure Credential Store and keeping them encrypted at rest. Users may also need to specify their own secrets in their user-specific third party credentials menu. The plug-in allows us to easily send user-specific values where applicable.
fn!ScsHttpRequest(): Allows us to make secure HTTP connections and integrates directly with the Secure Credentials Store. Proper use of the plugin requires using the included data type, ScsHttpField, to send dynamic headers, parameters, and body fields. It will return the data type ScsHttpResponse which includes a response code and response message.
